if a 2-300 dollar bandsaw/dry saw are to expensive for him what make you think a 1400 dollar plasma cutter is the way to go. If I was going to buy something to be used 'rarely' as the poster said, i wouldn't go out and spend 1400 bucks on something. I think its hilarious how everyone in the...

I never used one until i started a kitchen project and i bought a 12in fine cut for my miter saw and i've never bought another one since. The blades that come on the rage saws are quite good actually, especially considering they can do steel, aluminum, wood, plastic whatever. But if you do lots...

yes you can, i have the 14in steel demon on my Rage 2 saw. Best blade you can get, out performs the 100+ dollar blades on the market. I got mine from Cripe too, fast shipping. You really won't be disappointed with the diablo blade at all. You just can't cut aluminum or SS with it. You can most...

gotta be honest, during our guy gift exchange i was hoping that was in one of the gifts cuz i wanted it. Seemed like a useful tool around the house and in tight places. I'll be going out to get one with my gift cards.

wow, you're lucky. Your highschool still has shop classes. I stopped by mine a couple years back for a charity thing and saw that all the shops where i started to learn how to use tools and fabricate had closed because parents think their dangerous. Kudos to you school for allowing kids to...

Re: MY first shop what kind of stove is that, that it doesn't need a vent?

lol, you guys are unreal sometimes. There are plenty of companies that use Facebook as a legit form of advertising. Hell i've entered countless contests with miller, lincoln, esab, black stallion and other companies through facebook.

welding is a skill set and takes years to master. Personally, i agree with the high prices, you are asking someone to teach you a very specialized and important craft. Granted you are just going to 'tinker' but there are no schools that specialize in 'tinkering'. They teach you the proper way to...

well whatever you do don't listen to catskinner because if you try to weld aluminum or stainless with 75/25 you're going to get very aggravated. This is MIG welding not TIG welding. When you TIG weld you can use pure argon for almost everything, and even then you need to mix and match gases a...

thats pretty sweet, i always liked the drag evo and time attack evo. I'm actually building a 240sx drag project now, solid axle, full drag suspension, haven't decided on motor yet. I might go lsx, its doubtful i'll throw a sr, rb or ka in there though.

does @ams refer to the same AMS that builds badass Evo's?

i pay about 22 bucks to fill my 80cf with 75/25, 55 to fill my 330cf. Pure argon is a little more i forget how much though.

its a 100% straight pull, no bends at all.

I like your thinking, 3ft of 6/2 is and a couple 50amp receptacles is a lot cheaper than 20ft of 6/2

concrete block garage, it will be ran through conduit on the outside of the wall.

it will not be inside a wall. I think i'll just get some 6/3 romex and be to code. I did read more about wiring and it should have the ground not the neutral wire. Thats how it was when i opened the socket up but i'll fix it tomorrow and make sure its hooked up right

So I have a older miller tig machine, it has a 75ft power cord on it. WAAAAAAY more than i need to get around the shop. However, I do need a larger gauge wire to run to my welders outlet. Would it be possible to use this as outlet wiring? as in, from the breaker to a 50amp socket. Its only 3...

nevermind, please delete. I found the answer in my home electricity book.

before you buy a mig because everyone says 'its so easy' remember, as easy as it is to weld with one, its also just as easy if not more easy to make a terrible weld with one also. Just because its pull the trigger and go doesn't mean skill isn't necessary.

thats cool man, i saw that episode of horsepower, if I remember Joe didn't call it s 240sx though, I think he called it a 300zx or something.
